Hello !

I have a route here in app : /api/[v]/auth/login/route.ts
I want to get the "slug" (don't know if it's the good term) [v] in route.ts

here is my code :
// src/app/api/[v]/auth/login/route.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";

async function POST(request: NextRequest): Promise<NextResponse>
{
    const { username, password } = await request.json();

    console.log(username, password);

    // here i want to check what is the version of the api for example v1
    console.log(apiVersion) // Output : v1

    return NextResponse.json({ message: "test" }, { status: 200 });
}

export { POST };


Is it even possible to do this with request? Or I need to parse the URL?

hey @Chilean jack mackerel , you can actually just add a secondary param to your function arguments called params and you can then grab the path params as if they were an object --> https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/dynamic-routes

export async function GET(
  req: NextRequest, 
  { params: { slug } }: { params: { slug: string } } 
) {
  // Do whatever you'd like here 
}
hope this helps
